lifeline group

            We heard the sad news that Amy Knowles had died on 6th June 2011, aged 96 years. She was a great character and had been a member of ‘Lifeline’ for many, many years, but had decided to move into Arden House as she felt the company and extra care was what she needed. She will be remembered by many for the generous hearted person that she was. Her Memorial Service was held at the Methodist Church, Potter Hill, in July and the ‘Lifeline Group’ was represented by two of our lady helpers and myself.

            During this year we have lost two other of our long-standing members, Jessie and Stan Hesp who have moved away from Pickering, but our numbers are ‘up-to-strength’ again by other ladies joining our happy band!

            We had a lovely surprise in July when one members wife kindly baked a cake and provided some sherry for his birthday, which was enjoyed by all that afternoon,

            We have an outing planned for August, so we are hoping the weather will be kind to us on that day, as a fine one is important to everyone’s enjoyment of the occasion.

 Mrs. D. Packwood, Secretary.
